Although framed at a global scale, the focus is on hunter-gatherer, fisher, and/or small-scale horticulture societies, with special emphasis on Argentina and Southern South America. Aquatic environments are considered here in their broadest sense, including both marine and continental lands, and also still/moving, and shallow/deep bodies of water. After a general summary on the importance of aquatic environments throughout human history, this article focuses on three main topics. First, the different ways, and technological strategies in which humans exploit aquatic landscapes (navigation, use of water, and exploitation of mineral, animal and plant resources). Following, the differences in the use intensity of aquatic environments by humans; in order to categorize this diversity four different variants were defined (punctual use, occasional use, sustained use, and intensive use) for each of which archaeological expectations were defined. Finally, we also review certain relevant aspects connecting aquatic environments to social communication and symbolism. En este trabajo se discute sobre la importancia de los ambientes acuáticos para el estudio del pasado en arqueología. Aunque el tema es abordado de modo global, el énfasis está puesto en sociedades con economías basadas en la caza, la recolección, la pesca y la horticultura a pequeña escala, y se ilustran con ejemplos arqueológicos mayoritariamente regionales de nuestro país y Sudamérica. El concepto de ambiente acuático es considerado en su sentido amplio, en el que se incluyen los ambientes marinos y del interior continental, de aguas quietas y de aguas corrientes, someras y profundas. Luego de una síntesis sobre el uso de los ambientes acuáticos a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad, el trabajo se enfoca en tres temas principales. Primero, en los modos y estrategias tecnológicas de explotación de los ambientes acuáticos (navegación, uso del agua, y explotación de minerales, plantas y animales). Luego, en los distintos grados de intensidad con que las sociedades humanas hicieron uso de estos entornos, para lo cual se definen y caracterizan cuatro modalidades principales (uso puntual, uso ocasional, uso sostenido y uso intensivo), se derivan algunas expectativas arqueológicas y se puntualizan algunos ejemplos. Por último, se resumen los aspectos principales de la relación entre los ambientes acuáticos y la comunicación y el simbolismo de las sociedades. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4006 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4006/3615 Arqueología; Vol. 23 No. 3 (2017): September-December; 11-33 Arqueología; Vol. 23 Núm. 3 (2017): septiembre-diciembre; 11-33 1853-8126 0327-5159 Ambientes marinos y fluviales Poblaciones indígenas Estrategias de explotación de los recursos Intensidad de uso del ambiente Fluvial and marine environments Indigenous people Resource exploitation strategies Resource exploitation intensity Aquatic environments in Archaeology Los ambientes acuáticos en arqueología info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=4006_oai
